Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Individuals with inflammatory conditions should consider avoiding animal products, high-fat dairy products, egg yolks, beef fat, safflower, corn, sunflower, soybean, and peanut oils. The other dietary recommendations do not directly relate to the treatment of inflammatory conditions.

Answer to Question 2

C
Iodine-131 is not a radiation hazard to the nonpregnant patient but is absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy. Pregnant nurses should not care for this patient for several days.
